Defining Characteristics:Stark is something of a lackadaisical fellow; his long life-span has left him with a cavalier, almost care-free outlook on things. He's seen powerful empires rise and fall and has come away from it all with the sense that nothing lasts forever, and that frankly, life is just more than a little bit futile. But in lieu of going full on nihilist, he believes what matters most is learning to live in the moment. Stark acts - perhaps impulsively - based on his own, strong set of morals, at times even eschewing conformity and rules for the sake of just plain ol' doing the right thing.

Description:A vestigial warrior from a bygone era, Stark is an Anzati - an ancient race of vampiric, space-faring immortals. Long ago, he renounced the near insatiable lust to feed on sentient life and vowed himself to the Jedi path, taking on the mantle of guardian. He's decked out in a heavily beaten and battle bloodied robe, worn in a way akin to a duster and parting to reveal his scarred and chiselled bare chest. His leggings consist of leather wrappings and spurred boots, with an oddly leather-bound, stylized lightsaber hilt mounted to his left thigh as if it were a pistol. One might say he was something of an unorthodox figure among the Jedi.

Bio:Stark's background is largely lost to history - and he prefers it that way. What's known is that he hails from beyond the outer rim; his involvement in galactic affairs has throughout history been minimal. Several decades ago he stepped out into the proverbial light, leaving behind whatever lifestyle came before in order to embrace the Jedi ways. As a Jedi Knight, he's avowed himself to a life of... Jedi-ness.

Special Abilities:- As a predacious race that feeds on force sensitives, evolution has turned the Anzati into veritable killing machines. Stark has no natural bio-rhythm, and as such no pulse or body heat. Like all members of his race, his strength and reflexes more than double that of a human in peak shape, and his sensory organs are finely tuned to detect stimuli beyond what most would pick up. Dual proboscises coiled within his cheeks enable him to feed on the brains of other sentient beings and absorb their power, although Stark chooses to resist the urge. To support this diet, Anzati have evolved a form of telepathy - akin to a Jedi Mind Trick- that enables them to lure in victims. Lastly, the Anzati life-span can range up to a thousand years and beyond.

_________________"When a Jedi behaves badly in public, an observer might think, 'If this Jedi is a representative of the whole Order, then plainly no Jedi is worth respect.' On meeting a second Jedi, who behaves better than the first, that same person might think, 'Does this say that half the Jedi are good, and half bad?' On meeting a third Jedi, who behaves as well as the second, the person thinks, 'Was the first Jedi an exception, then?' In this way, only by the good behavior of several Jedi can the public be certain that the poor behavior of one Jedi was unusual. Thus, it takes many Jedi to undo the mistakes of one."―Odan-Urr
